SHALL gripsters

SHALL is one of the many brands offering gripsters from Chinese mass production. The brand is represented in the comparison with 6 models. The range is remarkably uniform: oval cordless vacuum lifters with an LCD display and a rated load capacity of 300 kg.

Model range

All 6 offers have an oval suction pad, listed as 24.5 cm long or 10 inches. The 10-inch electric gripster with two brushless motors, an LCD for suction strength and battery level, and a carrying case is the cheapest offer at €52. Other variants with two motors, LCD and case cost €55, €57 and €60. A version with a removable battery comes in at €55. Another offer with two brushless motors, LCD, 300 kg and carrying case costs €209, with the same feature description as the cheaper variants.

Prices and load capacity

Prices range from €52 to €209. The median is €56, below the €68 median across all 519 offers. Five of the six offers fall between €52 and €60. All models are rated at 300 kg, so the median and maximum are identical. That is well above the 200 kg median of all offers. The ranking Strongest oval vacuum grippers shows which oval models state even more.

Features

All 6 units are electric and have a digital display in the form of an LCD. Most run on two motors, several of them brushless. 1 model is listed with a removable battery, and no offer mentions USB-C charging. All seals are rubber. There is no vibration function.

Who are these lifters for?

SHALL is aimed at buyers looking for an oval 10-inch vacuum lifter with a high rated load capacity at a low price, for example for tiles and patio slabs. Since the offers hardly differ in features, it pays to look at the price. The oval shape grips elongated formats well. As with any vacuum lifter, often called a gripster in the trade, the rule applies: 300 kg is a maximum, and the working load should stay well below it. The guide Working safely with gripsters offers advice on this.
